Ovation mandolins are designed from the ground up as acoustic/electric instruments. This model features a hand-selected, exotic sapele with a tobacco burst finish supported by lightweight, Mando-Quintad bracing designed to enhance punch and projection. Ovation's pioneering soundhole design and roundback, Lyrachord composite body offer exceptional acoustic volume and cutting power. A cutaway offers full access to the sleek, satin finished maple neck and ebony fretboard. Our custom, high-output pickup and special version of the OP-24+ preamp give the Ovation mandolin unparalleled, cutting amplified tone with a host of pro features to dial in the precise sound you’re looking for.
